The sailing season is now underway, with the well planned summer cruise programme with voyages to new harbours and well-loved favourite destinations. Sailing (or motor-boating) in company is surely one of the best reasons for joining WCC.
The Alde and Ore cruise was a fantastic voyage, and the first cruise ‘over the bar’ of the season. Members were made very welcome by Orford Sailing Club and Aldeburgh Yacht Club, and thanks also go to Mark and Clare Richardson the cruise captains. A highlight of this cruise was the peaceful night spent at Snape, with only the booming of bitterns echoing over the reed beds.
Over 100 members enjoyed the Jubilee Barbecue and the Platinum Jubilee Parade of Boats on Friday 3rd June, with fourteen boats fully decorated sailing past the club, (which was festooned with bunting), and receiving the salute from the Commodore, Stephen Lines. This was an amazing sight, visible from the riverside walk, and enjoyed by onshore spectators as well. Thanks to Graham Bryant for organising this and everyone else involved in the sail past.
Members are looking forward to future cruises, the next being Walton Backwaters in June, followed by Lowestoft and Southwold, Ramsgate and Europe and more.
If the activities sound intriguing, then please have a look around this website New members are welcome, whether you own a motorboat or yacht, or are keen to start sailing. If you are new to sailing (or need to brush up your skills), then the club’s training officer runs RYA courses. All details are on this website
